High-Performance LED Lighting for Horticulture
LED horticulture lighting refers to the use of LED systems to provide the optimal light spectrum for plant growth in indoor and controlled environment agriculture (CEA). These lighting systems are designed to enhance photosynthesis and plant development by optimizing the light spectrum, intensity, and duration, making them more efficient and sustainable than traditional systems like high-pressure sodium (HPS) or fluorescent lamps. Tailored to meet the specific needs of various plants, LED horticulture lights are ideal for vertical farms, greenhouses, and indoor gardening setups.
Our German-manufactured LED strips and modules feature Nichia Hortisolis LEDs, which provide an ideal spectrum for horticulture and enhance visibility for workers. Upgrading to LED horticulture lighting with Nichia's Hortisolis™ LEDs offers numerous benefits, including enhanced energy efficiency, optimized light spectra, long lifespan, and improved plant growth and yield. By choosing Hortisolis LEDs, growers can create more efficient, sustainable, and productive growing environments, contributing to the future of agriculture.

Nichia Hortisolis LEDs: Ideal for Horticulture
What is Hortisolis™?
Hortisolis™ is a series of white LEDs developed by Nichia specifically for horticultural applications. These LEDs incorporate a combination of phosphors to provide a light spectrum ideal for plant growth while enhancing visibility for workers. Hortisolis™ LEDs offer a balanced light spectrum that includes blue, red, far-red, and green light, essential for plant photoreceptors such as cryptochrome, phototropin, and phytochrome.
Benefits of Nichia Hortisolis™ LEDs
- Ideal Spectrum for Plant Growth: Hortisolis™ LEDs incorporate all the wavelengths necessary for efficient photosynthesis and plant development, including blue, red, and far-red light.
- Enhanced Worker Visibility: The addition of green light creates a more natural white light environment, reducing eye strain and making it easier for workers to monitor plant health and growth.
- Increased Yield: Experiments conducted by Nichia have shown significant improvements in plant growth and yield when using Hortisolis™ LEDs. For example, leaf lettuce showed a 1.5 times increase in total weight, and cherry tomatoes had more than double the harvest weight.
- Improved Energy Efficiency: By concentrating on the specific wavelengths required for plant growth, Hortisolis™ LEDs provide efficient lighting solutions that reduce the number of fixtures needed and lower energy consumption.
- High Versatility: Hortisolis™ LEDs are suitable for both closed-type artificial farms and solar-based greenhouses, offering flexibility in various horticultural applications.
Nichia Hortisolis™: a proven system with outstanding results
The experimental results from Nichia's own vertical farm demonstrate the top performance of Nichia Hortisolis LEDs, showing more than double growth for some plants compared to conventional Ra80 LEDs. This proves that Hortisolis™ LEDs are a superior choice for optimizing plant growth and yield.
[Example 1] Leaf lettuce growth test: 1.5 times increase in the total weight
1 PFD: photon flux density, the number of photons that pass through a unit area in a unit of time.
2 These comparative growth tests were performed using Nichia light sources.
3 The above result (amount of harvest) is a month after the observation period.
4 The weight of a harvest is greatly affected by the conditions. Nichia suggests not to focus on the absolute value, but instead see the comparison with conventional lighting.
[Example 2] Edible viola growth test: 1.4 times increase in the number of petal
1 PFD: photon flux density, the number of photons that pass through a unit area in a unit of time.
2 These comparative growth tests were performed using Nichia light sources.
3 The above is a result of 2 month observation period.

LED horticulture lighting, particularly with the use of high-quality LEDs like Nichia's Hortisolis™, offers numerous benefits for indoor farming. These include enhanced energy efficiency, optimized light spectra, long lifespan, and improved plant growth and yield. By choosing high-quality LEDs, growers can create more efficient, sustainable, and productive growing environments, contributing to the future of agriculture.
When planning your horticulture lighting design, consider the specific needs of the plants you are growing. Different plants require different light spectra for optimal growth. Using LEDs like Nichia Hortisolis™ ensures that your plants receive the most effective light for their development. Additionally, think about the layout of your growing space and how you can maximize light coverage while minimizing energy use.
